If ever there was a ritual capable of making one feel better after a loss, it is this one. Amazing how cultures we smugly call "primitive;" Native Hawaiians, Native North Americans, know how to go home. We come from Nature, we are in Nature, we return to Nature. We must take care of Nature.
So very sorry for your families loss. Having lived on Oahu for 5 years, I so appreciate the beauty of the island and the ceremonies that go with it. Aloha to all.
My family's deepest sympathy for your loss, but what a wonderful sendoff.
Peace to your heart.
It was wonderful tribute and memory we will always cherish.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
Thank you Eric.
What a lovely tribute.

Beautiful way to remember your loved one.
A beautiful tribute, Ken. We miss Jo every day up in the ‘hood.
Ah, Ken, you've done it again.... Filled my eyes so I had a hard time actually finishing reading your piece. I suspect Jo would be pleased.
